⚠️ This is a work in progress proof of concept ⚠️
Benthos Captain is a Kubernetes Operator to orchestrate Benthos pipelines.
Getting Started
Currently, there isn't a stable release of the operator. If you want to install the operator for development purposes, you can follow the developer guide.
The operator provides a custom resource for managing Benthos pipelines. Once you've got the operator running, you can deploy a Pipeline
resource to test it out:
---
apiVersion: captain.benthos.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Pipeline
metadata:
name: pipeline-sample
spec:
replicas: 2
config:
input:
generate:
mapping: root = "woof"
interval: 5s
count: 0
pipeline:
processors:
- mapping: root = content().uppercase()
output:
stdout: {}
Once the resource is deployed, you can monitor the state of the resoure:
kubectl get pipelines
NAME READY PHASE REPLICAS AVAILABLE AGE
pipeline-sample true Running 2 2 62s
